Sunday 1sts beat touring uni side

Aston Manor Sunday 1st XI also enjoyed success with a friendly win against a touring University team. Manor were far too strong for their visitors with Abdul Rahim, Andy Forman and Austen Imber all retiring after smashing half centuries. Young Connor Woakes added quick late runs as Manor closed on 240-2 from their 40 overs.

The visitors had no answer to the excellent seam bowling of Shaun Carroll (5-15) as they were dismissed for only 100. Youngsters Michael Byrne and Avon Turner grabbed two wickets each with Scott Bryson taking the other. Despite the ease of the win this was still a very useful workout against enthusiastic opponents.
